I setup FTP in Windows XP and I can log in to the FTP site locally, as well
as from any computer on my LAN. But when I try and FTP to the same computer
via the Internet I get the following message:

"Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name
correctly and that you have permission to access the folder".

I have ports 20 & 21 set to forward TCP & UDP to the correct IP. What am I
missing?
